Personally I like the Cisco most, for instance it have more build in buffer (4MB) than most other switches, also looks like it can do practically everything you could ever want of a a switch.
It's just nagging me, is the HP as good a buy (it's for a Home Network with TV, Mac/PCs, PS3, Sonos, NAS and so on)??

Cheap, plug-and-play, never had an issue. Everything connected at Gigabit speeds OK - even with Cat5e cables (all fairly short, though - between 2 to 5 metres)._________________Martin at HeadSpin HD now on Blu-ray
